Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

el

conjunction. or

-vran

suffix. dwelling

A suffixal form of G. brann (GL/24); see S. barthan for discussion.

drim

noun. dew

A word for “dew” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/30), probably related to the early root ᴱ√RIŊI given its derivative ᴱQ. rin (ring-) “dew” (QL/80).

gwinios

noun. womanhood (time or state)

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “womanhood” referring to either “time or state”, an abstract noun formation based on G. gwin “woman, female” (GL/45).

hethos

noun. brother

A word for “brother” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, a masculinized form of G. heth “brother or sister, ✱sibling”, along with several (archaic?) variant forms {hethweg >>} hethwig, hestron, and hethron (GL/48-49). It was ultimately derived from the early root ᴱ√HESE [HEÞE?] (QL/40).

obra

adjective. close behind (of place), following, succeeding, next behind or after (time or place)

The adjective G. obra appeared in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s with the glosses “close behind (of place), following, succeeding, next behind or after (time or place)” based on G. ob “after, close behind (time and place)” along with an adverbial equivalent G. obron (GL/61).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this word to ᴺS. abor “following, succeeding, close behind (of place), next behind or after (time or place)” based on later S. ab “after”.

um

adjective. lowlying

An adjective for “lowlying” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/74), probably based on the early root ᴱ√Ū “under” (QL/96).

polodrin

adjective. mighty

A word appearing as G. polodrin “mighty” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, an adjective form of G. polod “power, might, authority” (GL/64). It had an archaic variant {poldurin >>} †polurin or polorin which was sometimes used as a sobriquet for Tulcus.

Neo-Sindarin: Since ᴹ√POL(OD) still had to do with “strength” in Tolkien’s later writings, I’d adapt this word as ᴺS. polodhren “mighty, ✱powerful” for purposes of Neo-Sindarin using the later Sindarin adjective -ren. Given the meanings of its base noun (including authority), I’d assume this adjective has a connotation of political power. I’d constrast it with S. belaith which I’d use for “mighty” in general (independent of authority).

gwegri

gwegwed

adjective. male

A word in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “male”, an adjectival form of G. gweg “man” (GL/44).

bladwen

noun. plain

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “a plain” (GL/23), probably derived from the root ᴱ√PALA “flatness” as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Palúrien; QL/071).

nosied

noun. kinsman

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “kinsman”, a combination of G. nôs “birthday” and G. ged “†kinsman” (GL/61), hence probably “kinsman by birth”. In one place it appeared in the form nosged, but this was deleted and replaced by nosied (GL/38).
